Administrative/Supervisory Concentration: Grad Cert

The Administrative/Supervisory Concentration program is designed to prepare prospective educational leaders to fulfill leadership responsibilities by providing a knowledge base in four areas: leadership, management, special education, and internship experiences. The program has been designed to conform to both the certification requirements adopted by the Utah State Board of Education and the Educational Leadership Policy Standards. Coursework in the concentration program satisfies the requirements for the Administrative License Area of Concentration, which most Utah school districts require when hiring an administrator or supervisor at any level.

Students who already have a master’s degree complete eight courses plus an internship, while students without a master’s degree can complete the program in conjunction with an MEd in Instructional Leadership.
